He is almost a character straight out of a western though, he has this almost cowboy hat thing, and chews on a piece of straw, almost expect him to utter "aw shucks" lol.

There is not one bit about him i find terrorizing he is as terrifying as a banker,lol.

Handles business quite like one.

As a kid i never found boba terrifying either only mysterious, though vader scared the shit out of me in a this dude should not be messed with sort of way.

Then that scary villain who oozes gravitas becomes an emo douche in the form of hayden christensen.

Either i have to keep both versions of vader separate in my mind or the character is ultimately ruined, a film icon ruined by one of the people responsible for his creation. i won't say the one person responsible because ralph mcquarrie had as much as a hand in creating vader than anyone.

The clone wars and prequels treated the villains in such a laughable manner that they can't be taken seriously its like the villains in a warner bros toon. Whether it is ian hamming it up as palpatine in episode III, grevious in episode III or the cartoon clone wars, ventress from clone wars, and dooku in the clone wars cartoon. They are always treated in a childish manner and completely dumb. You always have the villains escaping like cowards especially in the cartoon.
